Bakers Corner sent me a big box of chocolate recently and we had a lot of fun baking with it. OK some of it didn’t make it into baked goods because it was just too good to eat. And I’m a big chocoholic.
But I did use some in my favourite brownie recipe. Chocolate Peanut Butter Brownies. These are super fudgy and delicious. I know that you can find all sorts of brownie recipes these days but this is still my failproof never let me down brownie recipe that I’ve been making before I got married and had my family.
You’ll need 200g dark chocolate. We used a bag Nestle Bakers Choice Melts and it meant no breaking up of chocolate. For quality control purposes we did eat 3 buttons from the bag before adding to the saucepan
Add in 100g cubed unsalted butter and melt together. I did this in a small saucepan over a saucepan of boiling water. You can also melt it in a microwave safe bowl for 2 1/2 minutes on medium and stir it a few times in between.
Add in 1 cup of caster sugar and mix well. Add in 2 -3 generous scoops of peanut butter (crunchy or smooth) and mix well. Add in 2 eggs and stir gently. Then add in 2/3 cup sifted self raising flour. Gently fold the flour through making sure it’s all mixed in. Pour into a lined square/lamington tin. Baking a preheated 180C degree oven for about 20-25 minutes.
Leave to cool completely in the tin. Lift out of the tray by the paper and then slice with a clean knife.
Enjoy. You can find lots of chocolate creations or create and share your own with #bakerscorner #bakeityours
Oh Corrie, what a delightful photo of Lawson. Such a handsome little man and looks like you.
Recipe sounds yummo! Thank you.
Thank you, you know it’s nice to have 1 little person look like me after all of these babies! Thanks:)
Yummy, your brownie recipe is my go-to and everyone loves it! I love peanut butter ao will be trying it out for sure!
Oh that’s good to hear. Peanut butter really is the best but never lasts long here as everyone is just a bit too generous with it on their toast!
They sound delicious. My eldest is off to uni for the first time and I think a box of these would go down a treat with him and his new flatmates.
What a great, simple recipe Corrie. I look forward to giving it a try soon. x
Yummy Corrie, one gorgeous little man, he looks so happy, photogenic, wonderful.
Corrie I join you in the chocoholic line up, no matter how much I know about nutrition, chocolate remains as a staple.
